Please Note: Grading Susan B Anthony and Sacagawea
Dollars is a subjective matter that takes
years of experience to do correctly. In most cases raw or un-graded coins are
usually over graded by the individual owner. Try to be realistic and understand
that grading is only a means to quantify or
evaluate the worth of a coin. The grading company used to grade a coin is very important
and there are only two that have the highest reputation in the numismatic
industry, NGC and PCGS. See:Rating
Coin Grading Services. Also note that coins within a specific grade can
be a plus or minus of that grade also increasing or decreasing value.
There can also be mirrored fields which can increase the value
significantly as in Proof-Like (PL) and Deep Mirror Proof Like (DMPL).
Mintage and popularity can also factor into consideration when accessing
the overall worth of a coin. Please remember that there are at least
three values of a coin; the Price the owner
thinks his coin is worth, the
Value a
Coin Price Guide Book or a
Pricing Guide lists it at and then most importantly, the Actual
Price that you can sell it for to a dealer, buyer, or at an auction.

You can also compare your coin through the online
auction links to
compare prices and condition from images. Click Each Price to Compare Current Online Auction Values in the Left
Side Column Below.

FYI: Rare coins have historically protected or preserved
wealth as strong inflation fighters, particularly in countries whose paper
currency has been severely weakened. Any time our paper money is threatened,
rare coins can protect wealth much like an investment in gold bullion. The
beauty of rare coins can be enjoyed much like any other work of art. They
are also a very private form of investment not subject to government
scrutiny common to other types of investments held in banks and by brokerage
houses. Rare coins are easy to store and are virtually indestructible. They
are also insurable. Rare coins represent truly portable wealth which can be
moved from place to place very quickly and easily. If you intend to buy rare
or bullion coins for investment, your best protection is to spend time
learning about the coins you are being asked to buy. In the past, most
investment gains have gone to collectors, often known as numismatists, who
have taken the time to carefully study various aspects of coins, including
rarity, grading, market availability, and price trends. Investment success
over the years is the result of prudently acquiring coins of selected
quality, proven rarity, and established numismatic desirability. Many
careful buyers study coins for some time before buying even a single coin.
Success also can be enhanced by researching dealers, as well as coins.
